Description
The Consumed Unit represents a service-provider-specified measurement unit indicating how a service provider measures usage of a metered SKU associated with a resource or service. Consumed Unit complements the Consumed Quantity metric. It is often listed at a finer granularity or over a different time interval when compared to Pricing Unit (complementary to Pricing Quantity), and focuses on resource and service consumption, not pricing and cost.
